Captain Schmidt,
Remagen Bridge Security Command.
:41:22
- Major Kreuger.
- Thank God you have come.
:41:25
- Headquarters said you were on the way.
- I must use your phone.
:41:40
Yes, this is Major Kreuger. Get me
General von Brock at headquarters.
:41:44
Yes, it's urgent.
:41:47
- What's the last report on the Americans?
- Still in Stadt Meckenheim.
:41:51
Good. Perhaps they'll head
towards Bonn. Thank you.
:41:55
At least it'll give us a little time
to prepare our defences.
:41:58
Captain Schmidt...
Oh, excuse me, Herr Major.
:42:02
You must do something about the civilian
traffic. We can't get our work done.
:42:07
This is Captain Baumann,
Chief Engineering Officer. Major Kreuger.
:42:10
I'm glad you're here. If we don't clear
the bridge, we'll never be ready to blow it.
:42:15
The most immediate problem is not
to blow the bridge up but to keep it open.
:42:19
Excuse me, but is it not true the Führer
has ordered the bridge destroyed?
:42:24
Does the Führer transmit
his orders directly to you,
:42:27
or are you simply spreading idle gossip?
:42:30
But I understood...
:42:32
At this moment, Baumann, a loose tongue
is our most dangerous enemy.
:42:36
Surely you know the penalty
for spreading defeatist rumours?
:42:39
Please sit down, Captain Schmidt.
:42:43
Baumann, you stay.
:42:47
Will you brief me on the condition
of all of the units at our disposal?
:42:52
The regular company,
is it fit for instant duty?
:42:55
But there is no regular company.
:42:58
I don't understand.
